Overview
Buddy Guy is THE guy. The most electrifying blues guitarist of all time, Buddy’s been playing and singing the blues for all of his 82 years. He’s received every major musical honor you can imagine: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. GRAMMY® Awards. Presidential National Medal of Arts. With his trusty Fender Stratocaster, he’s influenced everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton.
For this unique, once-in-a-lifetime concert, he’ll be joined by the equally legendary Mavis Staples, the inimitable soul-gospel-R&B powerhouse and civil rights activist. Don’t miss your chance to witness these two living legends live on stage.
“If you cut Buddy Guy open he would bleed blue(s).”
–Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
“Mavis Staples is the most underrated diva of the century.”
